Wildcats assistant coach Matt Nielsen was in Florida and watched the 25-year-old play for the Dallas Mavericks at the NBA Summer League.
"The progression between what we saw Casey do at last year's Summer League compared to this one only highlights how much work and effort he's put into his game, and the development he made in his year in Perth," said Nielsen.
"To have the opportunity to get him back is fantastic. The added bonus, that instead of getting someone new, which can be risky, is that Casey is a phenomenal teammate. What the fans don't see is what he brings away from the game, which is invaluable. He's a leader in his own way.
